Summit Family Orthodontics Blog

Are you ready to reveal a healthier, more radiant smile? Orthodontic treatment can help by improving the appearance and position of your teeth, but there’s plenty that happens before you begin the process. If you’re thinking about scheduling your first orthodontic visit, here’s what you should expect:

When to go:
It’s recommended that you see an orthodontist at the age of seven. While some issues may need to be treated at an earlier age, some people are lucky enough to not require orthodontic treatment at all.

What to expect:
– A review of your medical and dental history
– An oral examination. If necessary, digital photos and x-rays will be taken.
– An outline of treatment options.
– Question and answers about treatment plan options.
– Explanation of financial obligations and payment plans offered.

When making the decision to undergo orthodontic treatment, the most important thing is to choose the orthodontist you’re most comfortable with. At Summit Family Orthodontics, we believe that each and every patient who walks through our doors should feel comfortable and confident in their smile, no matter their age.
